Anti-scalp wheels
Anti-scalp wheel kits are standard on Hustler Mid Mount Z units.
These anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping when mowing
on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the front anti-scalp wheels so they
extend below the deck but do not contact the ground. They should
always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (6.35
MM
to 19.05
MM
) below the deck. With
the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the front wheel position can be
adjusted up or down as needed from 3/4” to 1-3/4” (19.05
MM
to 44.45
MM
)
below the blade surface. Move the front wheels up or down, in 1/2”
(12.70
MM
) increments, using the different axle mount holes in the wheel
mount bracket. Fig. 3-11
When adjusting the rear anti-scalp wheels, the wheel should be in the
lower axle mount hole when the front anti-scalp wheels are in the lower or
middle axle mount holes. When the front wheels are in the upper axle
mount hole, the rear wheels should be in the upper axle mount hole as well.
